TGRAD is the ticker symbol for my corporation, The Graduates. It’s a split off the EVE University corporation (ticker EUNI), hence the education theme. All alliances and corporations have these ticker symbols, and people rarely refer to them any other way. These tickers are what show up in-game when you click on an enemy ship. So if you clicked on me, I would have a [RAWR] prefix. RAWR is my alliance, TGRAD is my corp.

Assuming I have a net worth of about 1.5b ISK, that’s about $100 USD. I’d say I’m lower-class in 0.0. The alliance would like us to have maybe 600-800M ISK in ships lying around ready for deployment in different situations. I have probably 1/2 that right now. Supposedly 0.0 has lots of great ways to make tons of money quickly, but I haven’t been able to move my money-making ships into 0.0 yet, so I’m not sure how easy it will be to refill my coffers. For reference, capital ships cost anywhere from 1b ISK to 80b ISK, while the sub cap ships most people fly in combat cost around 200M-500M, equipment included.
